Spent 6 hrs giving on the road lessons today....101 on the bike therm..I was cold......
Otb trick..... go get gnarley old sweatshirt...throw in sink full of warm water..... ..take out and lightly wring out (just so it isn't dripping, but you want it heavy. Put on leather or mesh pants, t shirt, boots. Start bike, put on wet sweatshirt, and mesh or leather jacket over top. Go riding...if leather jacket, unzip chest vents and stay cool 4-6 hrs depending on how fast you are going even in 100+days with high (today 89%) humidity. At one point when I was on the freeway, I had to partially zip chest vents as I was chilly..........

In the heat and humidity here, I find I am able to wet an undershirt very effectively at stops or when unable to ride at sufficient speed.
No sink required.

because putting it on after it's been in cold water will make your nips stand up.
